Prevent player skipping video

[clannadman]

Is there anyway to prevent a player from clicking and skipping a video when used or a splashscreen? Mainly the video I want to know about.

[Alex]

Just add

Code: Select all

$ renpy.pause(10, hard=True)

line right after the video (hard=True - will make pause unskipable)

[clannadman]

and will the length of pause not matter, or does it have to match the length of the video?

[Alex]

Of course yes. If pause will be less than video length, then player could skip video after pause end.

[clannadman]

okay then, thankyou

I've hit another problem. It seems as though the player can't skip the pause, however if they click once, the video stops and they're forced to sit and wait for however many seconds are left looking at a black screen. Any ideas?

[Alex]

Ooops... that's because I've never did it myself. And at first sight it seemed so easy to do...

Doing something like:

Code: Select all

play movie "user_hate.ogv"
$ renpy.pause(15.0, hard=True)

might work.

play movie "user_hate.ogv"
$ renpy.pause(15.0, hard=True)

might work.

Thanks, that's done it. Another query though. The player can still go to the in game menu which pauses the video so that when they return it's a black screen of nothingness. Is there any way to prevent the user from accessing the game menu during a video?

How is that different from what you were doing before (that didn't work and gave a black screen)?
